Show Details
Directed by Jamie Lloyd and adapted for the stage from the best-selling novel by Booker Prize-winning author Roddy Doyle himself, The Commitments is the electrifying tale of a struggling group of Irish musicians who find salvation and inspiration through soul music.

Set in Dublin in the 1980’s, aspiring young music mogul Jimmy Rabbitte attempts to shape an motley group of amateur musicians and friends into an amazing live band and head up an Irish soul revolution. Aiming to discover the next Aretha Franklin or Otis Redding, Jimmy finds himself with a group of white and weedy musicians after holding auditions at his parents' house. With the help of veteran musician Joey "The Lips" Fagan, the band begin to improve and make a name for themselves, but as real success approaches, their volatile relationships and a clash of egos threaten to destroy everything they've worked for.

This hilarious and poignant production features over 20 soul classics including Try A Little Tenderness, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, In the Midnight Hour and Mustang Sally.
